UEFA have been asked to delay the deadline for squad submissions for Euro 2024, Sky Sports News has been told.

Several countries have raised concerns that, with the last round of friendly internationals finishing just two hours before the final squad lists must be registered on Friday June 7, there will be very little time to assess any potential injuries before player names must be submitted to UEFA at midnight. England end their tournament preparations against Iceland at Wembley while Scotland face Finland at Hampden Park.

Following discussions on Monday, the national competitions committee will make a recommendation which will then need to be ratified by the UEFA executive committee. While the Exco isn't due to meet in person until May 22, it's thought they will accept the squad-size proposal and pass it remotely. Another key issue to be discussed by UEFA next week is how many players will be allowed in a matchday squad.
